No Chicago Quotations Over the Regu-
lar Wire to st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 3.-No Chicago quota
tions were received at the Merchants Ex-
change here on the opening of business this
morning, and when it was ascertained that
the telegraph wires were not at fault, much
comment and inquiry was excited. Later
dispatch came from A. NJ Wright of the
Chicago board, to President Gaiennie,
saying: 1--WE temporarily suspend your
quotations to observe the results
on Western and Southwestern bucket
shops" This was regarded as saying that
the st. Louis Exchange was furnishing
those bucket shops with Chieigo quota
tions, and it aroused "a good deal
of indignation and caused much hard
talk The suspension had very little
effect on the business of the board, however,
as private messages Immediately took the
place of public dispatches, and there was
scarcely lull in the trade. 1t is said that
the Exchange will take no action in the
matter, but maintain dignified silence, and
will neither ask for an explanation nor for
a renewal of the quotations.

INToLERANCE IN MEXICO.
The Fight Between the Liberals and
Clericals Growing Bitter.

Cry OF MEXICO, Sept. 3--The political
fight between the Liberal and Clerical
parties is becoming animated, the Maxi
milan incident serving as additional
provocation to the bitter attacks and coun-
ter-attacks in the press of the capital and
interior
The Monitor (Rep.) had a remarkable
leading article this morning devoted to the
alleged plots of the clergy against Republi-
can institutions. 1t says there appears to
be we'll formed plan to destroy in Mexico
preaching of religious liberty, and charges
that the higher, as well as the lower
classes of the clergy, is constantly
preaching crusade against religious
tolerance as enjoined by the constitution of
the country. The Monitor charges that
ecclesiastical penalties are inflicted for
reading the Liberal party newspapers, and
tend to revive the institutions Of the middle
ages.
KEEPING OUT FOREIGNERS.
1t also charges that this intolerance dis
played In the persecution of the people who
hold liberal views is the chief cause Of there
being no influx of foreign immigration into
the country, and says; 1T is feared, with
reason, that the clergy contemplate repeat
ing on Mexican soil the horrible atrocities
of Saint Bartholomew's day in France"
An anti Clerical league has been estab-
llshed in this city. 1t declares undying hos
tility to the Jesuits, and states its purpose
to be the emancipation of the Indians Of the
country from the slavery of ecclesiastical
rule, and compelling observance of reform
laws. The religious controversy is likely TO
enter into the next Presidential cleo
ton. The Clericals seem bound to
oppose the development of intercourse with
the United States as favored by President
Diaz's administration, and the clerical or
gans all over the country show marked
hostility to the United States and American
institutions. Leading Liberals say that
Gen. Diaz will be triumphautly reelected, in
order to show the American people that
Mexico is opposed TO a reaction and desires
the continued friendship of her powerful
and enterprisinQ neighbor
